"Hmm,Ah,Ah." (feat. Hatsune Miku)

SLAVE. V-V-R's song 'Hmm, Ah, Ah.' featuring Hatsune Miku is a fascinating exploration of control, desire, and the human condition. The lyrics delve into the tension between compulsion and temptation, using vivid and sometimes surreal imagery. The opening line, '強制は誘惑じゃない' (Compulsion is not temptation), sets the stage for a narrative that questions the nature of control and freedom. The mention of '包丁と酸素のパーティー' (a party of knives and oxygen) suggests a dangerous and intoxicating mix, hinting at the fine line between life and death, pleasure and pain.

The recurring desire to 'be diva' and the references to '生体のビバップ' (biological bebop) and 'O2のビバップ' (O2 bebop) reflect a yearning for transformation and transcendence. The term 'bebop' here could symbolize a chaotic, free-form existence, contrasting with the structured, controlled life the narrator feels trapped in. The repeated phrase 'ウィスパーの奴隷でゲラゲラです' (a slave to whispers, laughing) underscores a sense of being controlled by unseen forces, yet finding a twisted sense of joy or release in that submission.

The song's use of both Japanese and English, along with the robotic voice of Hatsune Miku, adds layers of complexity. The English words 'H-y-p-e-r-p-n-e-a' and 'B-r-e-a-t-h-i-n-g' spell out a physiological response to stress or excitement, further emphasizing the theme of breath and control. The repeated cries of '息止まんないの' (I can't stop breathing) and '全部出ちゃうの' (everything comes out) convey a sense of overwhelming emotion and loss of control. This duality of control and release, compulsion and desire, makes 'Hmm, Ah, Ah.' a compelling and thought-provoking piece.
